Water Petting

This athlete has difficulties keeping a firm hand during the initial catch. During the initial catch their hand with extend, instead of holding isometric wrist flexion. This petting motion will lose all the water they are trying to grab, forcing them to start the whole catch over, what a waste! This flaw is from poor forearm and grip strength! Make it easier on yourself, keep your wrist firm, grab, move and control the water. It may be harder at first, but it will pay off, trust me.
